I am rather surprised nobody has mentioned BlueGriffon[^]
If it was more actively worked on, it could be epic. In its current state its pretty damn good, but certainly has its quirks. I've found with persistence I can work around most of them.

Since this is partly your fault...
A few weeks ago the Mrs was asking what I wanted for Birthday/Christmas and I had just been looking at some of your pictures. So I got a Celestron 5SE.
Seemed like a good budget way to start (I'm an Aberdonian too!). So today I unpacked and assembled it, since it was *the* day to see the Saturn and Jupiter conjunction. Luckily the clouds cleared just in time and I got a great view. I could see Saturn's rings (kind of blended into one big one) and Jupiter's moons. UPS seems to have been gentle on it since I did not need to collimate it. It was pretty breezy so the atmosphere wasn't ideal and it was blowing the telescope a bit, but not too bad. (I live in Kuna, Idaho - high desert - so I expect much better conditions in the next few weeks, albeit colder!)
I didn't try the auto align yet since the Starfinder scope worked really well and I manually slewed it but it looks really useful if it works as advertised.
Now, of course, I need another eyepiece. It came with a 25mm which is good for 50x I believe, but the useful magnification is in the 125-175 range (I think 300 max). Any recommendations, or is pretty much any eyepiece from a reputable source going to be fine?

I never drink coffee when I work and never have - is it just for the caffeine rush ? If you need it for inspiration / stamina - you need to kick back - I obviously have too much time on my hands

I'll only drink it until I need glasses.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

When I used to smoke I always said; quitting smoking is not hard, I've done it a thousand times.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I like the taste, but it's also the caffeine rush. Too much makes me more easily agitated though.

I like it and I badly need caffeine.

Coffee is one the the Drinks Of The Gods - Gin'n'Tonic is the other - but the only one that doesn't get you arrested for driving after drinking it.
It helps you focus, plus stay awake in meetings!

That's not a drink - it's a cocktail!

Turkish coffee for the workday, Irish coffee for the weekend - both are drinks of the gods!
Seriously, coffee gives the the extra push during the workday. Mixed with alcohol, it mellows me (but keeps me moderately alert) on the weekend.

I used to despise coffee until I worked night shift for about a year. It never seemed to matter how much sleep I had gotten, that early morning crash was going to come in hard. Picked up coffee to try and make finishing a shift easier. Ultimately ended up finding a taste for it, to the point where I like to explore different coffee blends.
Oh, and it must be hot coffee. Get out of here with that iced nonsense.

I don't get it either. People boast about how much they "need" (are addicted) to a drug. Why is that something to boast about?!!
Most developers I have worked with do not drink coffee, which was a surprise to me. I had expected most would.

Coffee is one of the essential food groups, not consumed on a regular basis it causes dingbautulus which is akin to scurvy and although not fatal can cause a severe craving to listen to Justin Bieber music.

It's "logical": coffee has flavonoids. It's a race between the jitters and dementia.
